The Casa Lar dos Afetos project, in Santo António, will see an increase in capacity and a total financial reinforcement of 2.4 million euros.
The Regional Government of Madeira, through Ordinance no. 294/2026, has authorized the reinforcement of investment in project 3747 - Casa Lar dos Afetos (CLA), contracted with the Casa do Povo de Santo António. The project, funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), aims to build a Residential Structure for Elderly People (ERPI) and a Day Center.
Due to a more efficient resizing of the spaces, the ERPI's capacity has increased from 20 to 25 places, while maintaining the 10 places in the Day Center. This adjustment implies an increase in the project's total amount to €2,467,455.85.
The approved distribution of budgetary charges is as follows:
The Autonomous Region of Madeira mobilizes 18 search and rescue specialists to support Venezuela following the June 24 earthquakes.
The Madeiran executive has approved the proposal for a Regional Legislative Decree that creates the Elderly Person Statute in the Region.
The Sagrado Coração Senior Unit project in Ribeira Brava will receive additional funding and an increase to 52 residential care places.
